Question

a research center poll showed that 82% of people believe that it is morally wrong to not report all income on tax returns. what is the probability that someone does not have this belief?

the probability that someone does not believe that it is morally wrong to not report all income on tax returns is \boxed{}.
(type an integer or a decimal.)

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the total probability

The total probability of all possible outcomes is 1 (or 100% when expressed as a percentage).

Step2: Calculate the probability of not having the belief

If 82% (or 0.82 in decimal) of people have the belief, then the probability of not having the belief is \(1 - 0.82\).
\(1 - 0.82 = 0.18\)

Answer:

0.18
